I get it but our back half is a shambles so at this point my priority would be to play players who can potentially offer us something in the future. I guess that's me giving this year away to a degree.
I expect if we lose v Freo, Buku comes straight back in and plays the last two.

Same ... I like his speed

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 21 v Fremantle at Marvel on Saturday
Great to see Darcy selected. He’ll take some time to adjust but he’s looked great in the bits and pieces (admittedly not heaps) I’ve seen of him at VFL level this year.
Buku out is tough - he’s coming along nicely. He needs a bit more strength in the contest, but has shown he’s a player we should continue to develop and play, providing he keeps improving.
VDM for JJ makes sense. Similar role and similar way of typing their name.
I’m mainly glad McNeil is back in. I know he’s not a star, but his defensive work has been important for us and he’s comfortable to play that role and not ball hunt. We need it.

If getting possession numbers up were that important to Bevo he would have Hunter and McLean as straight ins but clearly he sees some value in McNeil and Vandermeer with what they will bring.

Re: Always Right Match Committee Round 21 v Fremantle at Marvel on Saturday
Just watching Daniels highlights over his 150 games I'd love to see him forward for a few weeks. With the structure up there now and with JJ out, I think we need to add a little quality going inside 50 with the talent we have there.

He's a terrific back man and his ability to get us out of tight situations is invaluable but I do think he could really add something to our forward line. Good suggestion Kruder.

I did say he can run fast.
Hoping at some point that he finds a second skill of some sort.

I am not sold on him yet. He has proven zero.
In 29 games he has kicked 18 goals and has had 2 tackles a game. Hardly small forward material

13 disposals, one goal and one tackle recorded in VDM's last two VFL matches. The lowest ranked and second lowest ranked player for fantasy points in these games.
I know stats aren't everything but with not many injuries on our list, I am astounded.
